RED LION -- Alyssa Bixler and Courtney Schaefer grew up swimming together for the York YMCA team.

They went their separate ways for high school, Bixler to Dallastown and Schaefer to Red Lion, but on Thursday afternoon, they were reunited in the water.

Rivals in the pool, friends out of it, Bixler and Schaefer delivered outstanding performances while going head to head in two events during the Dallastown-Red Lion girls' swimming meet.

Schaefer edged Bixler to win the 200 individual medley, finishing in a time of 2 minutes, 11.00 seconds, to Bixler's 2:11.28.

The finishes were reversed in the 100 freestyle, with Bixler winning in :54.77, and Schaefer placing second in :56.03.

Dallastown won the meet, 107-63. The Wildcat boys completed the sweep by defeating the Lions, 122-48.

"We've been friends for a really long time, and getting to see her again was really exciting," Bixler said. "Racing each other brought out the best in us. On the last lap, I could hear the people cheering for her, and I could see my friends on the side, too. It was great to have the support of everyone backing us up."

Bixler, Erica Wise (50 freestyle) Anna Hess (100 backstroke) and Justina Thornley (500 freestyle) won individual events for Dallastown, and the Wildcats took two of three relays.

Jesse North captured the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly for Red Lion, and Schaefer and Anne Mitzel (100 breaststroke) earned firsts in individual events. The Lions also prevailed in the 200 medley relay.

Red Lion hung with Dallastown through the first five events, trailing by just eight points, 43-35. The Wildcats then seized control of the meet, going 1-3-4 in the 100 freestyle and 500 freestyle and 1-2 in the 200 freestyle relay.

"We didn't win an event until the 50 freestyle," Wildcats' coach Rich Howley said. "Depth came into play today, and that's one thing where Dallastown has been fortunate in over the years."

Boys' meet: Speaking of depth, the Dallastown boys' team is loaded with fast swimmers.

"We're blessed to have 15 or 16 boys at :51.0 (seconds) or faster (in the 100 freestyle) and 15 or 16 boys at :23.6 or faster (in the 50 freestyle)," Howley said. "We have a lot of juniors and seniors, and I feel bad for our younger swimmers, but they'll just have to wait their turn, just like these kids (the current juniors and seniors) did."

Corey Stauffer (200 freestyle), Mason Tate (100 backstroke) and Sreshtha Sing (100 breaststroke) delivered individual victories for the Wildcats, who swept the three relays. The 400 freestyle relay team of Hine, Noah Brockway, Steven Paine and Stauffer broke a 24-year-old Red Lion pool record with a time of 3:18.00.
